A Board policy is a statement or position adopted by the Board that provides the framework for a course of action and comply with provincial government directives. There are provincially-mandated elements that boards embed in their policies which boards cannot change. Administrative Procedures are operational and administrative in nature and largely based on provincial legislation and regulations, or Ministry of Education policy.
There are aspects of governance, such as board goals, strategic planning, and student accommodation, which provide the opportunity to deeply engage stakeholders in setting directions for the school board.
The Board of Trustees welcome and value public input from students, parents, and members of the community about Board policies, practices, issues and its overall education system.
